Belthangady Police File Charges Against Activists for Unlawful Assembly

MANGALURU, October 28, 2025 – Belthangady police have registered cases against 21 or more individuals following an unauthorized assembly in front of the Belthangady tahsildar office earlier today.

The gathering was organized by the Rashtriya Hindu Jagaran Vedike, a local organization, in protest of what they claim are false charges against activist Mahesh Shetty Thimarody. Mr. Thimarody is currently challenging an externment order issued by the Puttur Assistant Commissioner, which would banish him to Raichur District.

Police had previously denied permission for the demonstration, citing the pending writ petition in the Karnataka High Court, as well as unspecified security concerns in the area. Despite the denial, a large group assembled outside the tahsildar’s office and refused to disperse after warnings from law enforcement.

Activist Prasanna Ravi and others are now facing charges of unlawful assembly and obstruction of public access. They have been booked under Sections 89(2), 57, and 285 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released by the Belthangady police department.
